A Re-Affirmation ceremony only allows you to re-affirm your original marriage vows and commitment to each other. Re-affirmation ceremonies can be celebrated for several reasons:

1. to re-affirm your love and commitment for each other
   
   
2. to celebrate a special wedding anniversary
   
   
3. perhaps you were married overseas or interstate and you want your immediate family and friends to be part of your special event

Persons who are legally married to each other cannot go through a further ceremony of marriage to each other as it is an offence for an authorised Civil Marriage Celebrant to purport to solemnize such a marriage

It must be pointed out at this stage that there is no legal obligation for re-affirmation except that the celebrant must warn couples that this is not a marriage ceremony as such
